Screenshot of an alleged 2000 tech demo for the Game Boy Advance, depicting Purple Yoshi attacking spider-like enemies. The screenshot was published on the IGN forums in August 2000 by a Japanese IGN correspondent, however, its authenticity is disputed due to no other details about this project ever surfacing again, and due to the GBA, in theory, not being able to display such smooth polygonal graphics with accurate shadows.
It is also possible that the objects and shadows are in fact pre-rendered, similar to the Donkey Kong Country series but in higher resolution, which does not completely rule out the possibility of this demo being legitimate.
